NewJeans

NewJeans, a South Korean girl group formed by ADOR under HYBE Corporation, surprise-released their debut single "Attention" on July 22, 2022, and officially debuted on August 1, 2022, with their self-titled EP "New Jeans," featuring hit tracks like "Attention" and "Hype Boy." The group currently consists of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein. Each member brings distinct vocal and performance styles that contributed to the EP’s critical acclaim and commercial success, including multiple music show wins within their debut month. The group gained widespread attention for their 1990s and early 2000s-inspired fashion, developed by stylist Choi Yu-mi, and their innovative use of TikTok and YouTube Shorts to launch viral dance challenges tied to songs like "Cookie." Their music videos, particularly for "Hurt" and "OMG," have amassed millions of views, solidifying their influence on digital trends and the global K-Pop community.
